I like living, and everything that goes along with living. Talking, laughing, eating, drinking (milk, jerks), playing, even working on occasion. My current mission in life is becoming a pretentious cheese snob without the pretension or snobbishness.
It occurred to me recently that nobody could possibly care about my feelings on cats and dogs.
I love, and furthermore make, sketch comedy. Check out our BODACIOUS page of TUBULARITY for the aforementioned sketch comedy my friends and I put together. And just wait for Episode 3 -- oh man, is that going to blow everyone away. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I'd like to meet:
John Francis Dooley,
wipe the sleep from your eyes
and embrace the light.
You have slept now
for a thousand years
beneath starless nights.
And now it's time for you
to renounce the old ways,
and see a new dawn rise.
In former days
masks were raised
when the god came down
from off of the mountain,
and a sacrifice was made
for they knew the day of wrath
was fast approaching.
Just like yesterday, before the war
John Francis Dooley
the scapegoat has run
all our sins are disowned,
and now it's time for you
to take off your mask
and cross the Rubicon.
If you and I were one
within the eyes of our designs
it would still not change
the fact of our leaving.
For tonight we must leave
with the first gentle breeze
for the Isles of Ken we are sailing
Just like Ulysses, on the open sea.
On an odyssey of self discovery.
